Peter Pan's arguably the best ride in Fantasyland, but don't you think it needs a refurb?

I definately think that it can go for a rehab. Some of the scenes are looking a little shot and could use a repainting. I also think they could a couple of scenes from the movie.

Yes, it should be refurbished. New animatroincs can surely be added: especially in the opening scene. I would also put more safety measures in (not discomforting, of course) the track. Maybe some repainting, newly added sets, etc - not really a new story line, though..

I may sound like I'm a person who "hates anything new" ... no. It's not that at all. In fact, I find change as an exciting thing. It's just the replacements that get me...
I believe Peter Pan SHOULD REMAIN THE SAME, BUT it should get fresh new sets. I love the CBJ...and the CoP. Both have gone under major refurbishments set/animatronics/styles, but they all have the one and only original flavor. Changes like the *Tiki Room* drive me NUTS!
But I am sure redoing the animatronics, maybe adding a few new details would not hurt at all! Especially making that track less noisy...

I agree. The basic premise of the ride should stay intact, but the animatronics need quite a bit of updating, plus they may want to add some more scenes, if possible.

If you are talking maybe keeping the scenes as is, just putting in newer animatronics, then that would be fine...What they did to the Tiki Room is just BAD! The same with JIYA so I wouldnt want the ride to change the way it is, but updating animatronics would be nice...Maybe Wendys head would turn more smoothly, and the mermaids tails too

They really can't change the ride, because it is following a story. So you can't change that. But with the Tiki Room and JIYI where there was no story to follow they can chang it how ever they like. The only thing that could destroy the ride would be to make it Return to Neverland.

I would like to see easier access for the disabled. My Mum is in a wheelchair most of the time, but my daughter REALLY wanted her Nana to see this ride. The boats didn't stop, so my Mum had to transfer to 2 crutches and literally throw herself, with the help of a CM into one of them!! She panicked the whole way around about getting off again!

Peter Pan could use a refurbishment similar to what Pirates of the Caribbean recieved at Disneyland, that is, new animatronics but nothing totally new content-wise. London could use a touch-up with some additional fibre-optic details, and many of the figures of the pirates and children are nothing more than statues. There's actually a lot of potential in the ride design if they put some creativity into it.
